Farming background

I had been working at my parent's mixed farm in Poland for years. But in the UK I also worked hard on different types of farm for long years. I started in 2001 on mixed farm near Royston (Herts), where I worked mainly as a potato or flowers grader. Next year I worked on mixed farm in Wales, the farm used to produce wide range of fresh products to it's farm shop and also sells some fruits/vegetables to markets. The same year later I landed in Kent where I was picking and packing tomatoes in a glasshouse for a big producer, also I was performing there other smaller jobs. The next year I was back to Kent, but this time I worked with apples, pears and plums. But that's a far past, since 2005 I work on arable farms, mostly as a tractor or forklift driver. I can weld, I manage to carry out repairs of some equipment.
